Bienvenue au cours de français! Seventh Graders!



You have chosen a wonderful course of study! In this class we will be learning to speak, read, write, and understand French! We also will learn a lot about the culture of French Speaking countries in the world. You will be using this Wiki to learn some of your lessons, so it is important that you become used to being here every day after school! So let's begin ~ Commencez ~ this "aventure!" TELL ME ANYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT THESE PLACES, adding to what someone else may have said!
